=> it should not be hard to find them (just long :-).

=> so it is still like the RT used for other projects, I'll open one
and Shane will adjust it. In fact IMHO we need a small set of tickets,
one for each problem to fix so today:
 - HOWTO
 - DLL exports
 - build files (solution and projects)
and more when other issues will be found.

> With a branch, I guess you don't have an account on the bind10 machine

=> I had at least one at the beginning and it seems it is still active
(ssh fdupont at bind10.isc.org works).

> I don't remember seeing you on the team

=> I am not member of the team but participate on some specific points
at the occasion (python bindings, crypto and now windows).

> Anyway, we try to split into as small tasks as possible

=> of course and fortunately it should be pretty easy in this case.

=> as a Lisp programmer 20 years ago I prefer this one:
LISP programmers know the value of everything and the cost of nothing.
